New York go-go dancers Ferne and Irene are preparing to perform and talk about their work. In a witty and empathetic observation, they reflect on their experience, their own dignity and the transformation of the perception of public behavior, which was more of an art form than a utilitarian service.

biography

British experimental filmmaker, curator and writer Tessa Hughes-Freeland moved to New York in the 1970s and soon became part of the legendary No Wave Cinema group. Her work is confrontational, provocative and at the same time poetic. From a stylistic point of view, she places emphasis on colors and montage, and her images are often accompanied by dynamic music.
